The EAC’s Testing and Certification program is the critical first step in the process of maintaining the reliability and security of the voting systems used in our nation’s elections.

Voting Equipment

State Information

This page is a place for election officials and others to go in order to see what other election officials have done to either purchase new voting technology or test voting technology. The EAC hopes these materials will help inform state and local officials as they move forward with modernizing the voting process.

Voting Technology Procurement

From time to time, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission becomes aware of state or local governments’ issuing requests for proposals (RFP), request for quotes (RFQ), or request for information (RFI) to solicit commercial bids to procure voting systems or e-pollbooks. Other election administrators may be considering similar procurement and could benefit from reviewing other RFP/RFQ/RFI’s.

E-Pollbook Requirements

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission is aware that many states have developed e-pollbook Testing & Certification programs. EAC collected the requirements, test protocols and/or checklists used by each state with a program currently in place. Other election administrators may be considering similar programs and could benefit from reviewing this information.
